Stay with me on this one

P=V*I Power = Volts * Current
If you half the volts the current needs to double. Hence on a 10Amp circuit you have avaliable 2k4 Watts of energy
If you plug your cell charger into a 230~240 circuit it draws 0.02A or 20 mA
When you plug it into a 110~120 volt circuit it will draw .040A or 40mA

You bunch of wallys . . . I cant believe you took the time to write up the equations and give examples.

Yea I'm with you on that one

yep im anticipating what the point is here. most stuff is 100-240vac round here (we get it mainly from states and germs). Mind due we do cover 1.5v to 110KV on occasion

"wallys" No you have got me all wrong. I am one person

Everyone knows "Wotts" is proportional to "Amps" if the music is loud.
"Volts" is just a dance form when you touch the plug thats hooked to the "Amps"

I was including Double D . . .

Dat's tru, if da muzic in da club is 2 loud, you get lots of "wots?"

You'll get 'em if the women in that club have Double Ds too...

Low power stuff, eg. Cell phone chargers it isnt a drama to have more voltage.
High power applications, eg. computer stuff use switched mode power supplies which have regulation that can handle the wide range of voltage.

Are you calling DD a boob?
